Astronomy Daily · S05E157 · “The Edge of Everything” · Monday 3 August 2026 In this episode • The largest galaxy, measured at last. Ultra-deep imaging of IC 1101 in the Abell 2029 cluster has traced its outer edge for the first time: an edge radius of ~260 kpc, a diameter near 520 kpc (~1.7 million light-years), and ~3.4 trillion solar masses in stars — about 17× the width of the Milky Way. Faint outer structures aligned with cluster X-ray disturbances show it is still accreting. Source: Marrero-de la Rosa et al., “How large can galaxies be?

JAXA confirmed (press conference 30 Jul) that its Hayabusa2 probe passed just 400 m from the surface of near-Earth asteroid Torifune on 5 July — 744 m from centre at >18,000 km/h — the closest asteroid flyby by any mission, plus the first-ever laser ranging of an asteroid during a flyby. Torifune proved to be a contact binary. Source: JAXA press conference, 30 Jul 2026; phys.org / Japan Today (AFP), 31 Jul 2026; autoevolution, 1 Aug 2026. • UK's first orbital launch on hold. Rocket Factory Augsburg de-stacked its RFA One at SaxaVord Spaceport (Unst, Shetland) after finding a vehicle issue during hot-fire test prep (announced 28 Jul).

This week on Tapod, we catch up with Natalie Badaway – or ‘Nat Bad' as we like to call her (thanks Denise Pereira, for the nickname). Nat is busy as Talent Acquisition Specialist at Andromeda (a really cool robotics company) and co-organiser at the Melbourne Talent Meet-Up. We are all very aware of the pressure and anxiety our industry has been under over the last 18 months. With the rise of AI, war in Europe and the Middle East, global tariffs, increased inflation and interest rates all affecting hiring levels and redundancies across our sector, we are all feeling it. And this is why Community is so important. Nat talks us through the how and why. If you do not attend 'meet-ups' in your city, it's about time you bloody did! No-one understands our industry like our community, and if you need support, we are all here for you.Thanks to Paradox for partnering with us for this episode.
SCHEDULE FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-29-26.1885 CHILE STEEL SIDED WARSHIPRebecca Grant and Gordon Chang report China is escalating provocations against the Philippines and Japan, including dangerous maneuvers near Second Thomas Shoal and firing missiles from submarines. Grant highlights the US Navy's preparedness to defend allies, noting a "red line" if Filipino sailors are killed. Despite China's permanent presence, the US maintains dominance through carrier strike groups and superior undersea warfare. The lack of operational officers on China's Central Military Commission suggests potential command risks. (1)Rick Fisher and Gordon Chang discuss reports that China is transferring hundreds of advanced QW-12 and FN-16 man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) to Iran via Hong Kong intermediaries. Fisher warns this poses a significant threat to US aircraft in the Strait of Hormuz. Chang advocates for reimposing sanctions on Hong Kong. The transfer, which China denies, represents a major escalation and highlights China's ongoing role in arming US adversaries like North Korea and Pakistan. (2)Charles Burton and Gordon Chang note Xi Jinping broke tradition by skipping the 50th anniversary of the devastating Tangshan earthquake, sending a surrogate instead. Burton suggests this absence may signal political instability or paranoia regarding his domestic standing. The earthquake historically symbolizes a loss of the "mandate of heaven." Furthermore, vacancies on the Central Military Commission and the mysterious death of former Premier Li Keqiangindicate profound internal disarray and a lack of clear succession. (3)Charles Burton and Gordon Chang discuss how trade tensions and rhetoric from the US have led to increased disdain among Canadians toward their neighbor. Burton discusses a poll showing Canadians view China more favorably than the US due to perceived economic threats from American tariffs. While the integrated North American market remains strong, Canadian provincial governments are reportedly restricting US alcohol sales. There are even suggestions that Canada should adopt "resistance" strategies similar to Ukraine. (4)Evan Ellis reports Keiko Fujimori has been inaugurated as Peru's president, appointing a respected center-right cabinet focused on fiscal discipline and US alignment. However, she faces challenges from endemic insecurity, corruption, and significant Chinese investment. Meanwhile, the influence of Cuba remains a concern across Latin America, with accusations of espionage and interference in democratic processes. Díaz-Canel's regime is under pressure from the Trump administration, potentially facing coercive negotiations or military action. (5)Evan Ellis previews Brazil's upcoming October election, which pits the leftist Lula da Silva against Flavio Bolsonaro, son of the former president. While Lula currently leads in polls, his Workers' Party background and ties to the São Paulo Forum raise concerns about radicalism and increased engagement with China. Ellis warns that a Lula victory could lead Brazil into a recession and a state-centric social policy, potentially settling political scores while lacking necessary financial resources. (6)Evan Ellis surveys shifting political landscapes: Javier Milei is rallying support for the Bolsonaros in Brazil, highlighting a new era of cross-border political interference. In Colombia, President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella is signaling a pro-US shift by cutting ties with Cuba and Nicaragua. Conversely, Venezuela remains in a "holding pattern" under Delcy Rodríguez. Despite reports of crumbling oil infrastructure, major investment is unlikely until a legitimate government is established to address the nation's $240 billion debt. (7)Evan Ellis notes President Claudia Sheinbaum has seen success in reducing homicides and cooperating on border security, but deep-seated corruption persists. The USMCA's future is uncertain, with the Trump administration using ongoing negotiations as leverage. Additionally, China is quietly expanding its presence in Mexico's telecom and automotive sectors. Sheinbaum must navigate a delicate balance: pursuing economic diversification and relationships with China without jeopardizing critical access to the US market. (8)Michael Bernstam reports Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries have severely pinched Moscow's fuel production, forcing it to import refined products from India. Bernstam argues that the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have merged into a singular global energy crisis. With critical chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea threatened, a quarter of the world's oil supply is endangered. As governmental reserves dwindle, the US has become a primary exporter. (9)Michael Bernstam notes official statistics reveal the Russian economy has entered a state of stagnation, with GDP growth at a mere 0.2% for the first half of 2026. While weapons production remains high, the civilian economy—including agriculture and construction—is in recession. Bernstam notes that "perceived inflation" for Russian consumers is roughly 15%, significantly higher than official reports. Reckless interest rate cuts have further invited inflation, signaling a deepening commercial and fiscal crisis. (10)Sadanand Dhume observes that despite having a vast pool of engineers and data, India lags behind the US and China in developing frontier AI models. Dhume discusses the "winner-take-all" fear versus the belief that AI technology will eventually diffuse globally. While the Indian government is investing in semiconductors, many IT sector jobs in coding and back-office support are threatened by automation. The debate continues over whether India can successfully reap benefits without being a front-runner. (11)Sadanand Dhume examines India's "reservations" system, a rigid quota-based affirmative action program facing intense criticism for undermining university competitiveness. Originally intended to redress historical caste-based wrongs, quotas have expanded to cover roughly 60% of medical school seats. Dhume notes that while merit-based systems in Chinaprovide a brutal but efficient benchmark, Indian political parties fear touching the quota system would be "electoral suicide." This policy has entrenched caste identities. (12)General Blaine Holt analyzes reports of China supplying advanced shoulder-launched missiles (MANPADS) to Iran via Hong Kong and Pakistan, signaling a major geopolitical shift. Holt explains that while these weapons threaten low-flying aircraft, the supply chain is vulnerable to intelligence interdiction. Holt observes that recent Iranian escalations in Iraq and the Gulf suggest a fragmented leadership in disarray rather than a cohesive strategy. The US and Saudi Arabiaare actively striking Iranian-backed militias. (13)Mary Anastasia O'Grady reports that following a narrow election victory, center-right businessman Abelardo de la Espriella faces fierce opposition from outgoing President Gustavo Petro. Petro, a former M19 terrorist, has refused to recognize the results, alleging fraud and foreign interference. De la Espriella plans to take a hard line against illegal armed groups like the ELN and FARC. To build support, he intends to hold his inauguration at a military garrison, signaling a commitment to restoring national security. (14)Bob Zimmerman reports SpaceX's 13th Starship Super Heavy launch was a major success, demonstrating the reliability of Raptor 3 engines and the thermal protection system. Zimmerman highlights the shift toward a "capitalism model," where private companies manage missions for NASA. Meanwhile, a schizophrenic GAO report on NASA's workforce reductions suggests that budget cuts have not significantly impacted major projects, despite agency officials' claims that funding decreases are "disastrous." (15)Bob Zimmerman notes the Deep Space Network facility in Spain narrowly avoided destruction by wildfires, highlighting the fragility of planetary communication nodes. Beyond Earth, astronomers have observed a precipitous drop in star formation within the Andromeda galaxy as it moves toward an eventual collision with the Milky Way. Additionally, NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan faces potential power shortages from its nuclear sources. Despite these risks, commercial space continues to expand into private stations. (16)Corrections applied: Rick Fisher (transcribed as "Fischer" in segment 2 — matching the spelling from your earlier batch), Delcy Rodríguez, Díaz-Canel, and São Paulo Forum with accents. Also standardized "man-pads" to MANPADS and hyphenated the QW-12/FN-16 designations. Stray double commas from the source cleaned throughout.5

Neste programa, Nuno Rogeiro olha para a demografia da Europa e reconhece o seu envelhecimento. Para Portugal, traz uma solução, “traçar um desígnio: garantir o regresso dos portugueses no estrangeiro à diáspora". Segundo o comentador, esta será uma forma de sairmos da "armadilha diabólica” que é a imigração atual ou, como descreve, "a nova escravatura". Mas este não é o único conselho que deixa a país, traz ao programa o caso de um incêndio na Noruega e coloca a catástrofe que destruiu centenas de casas em perspetiva: “Se isto acontece neste país tão organizado, como será em Portugal agora que agosto se aproxima?”, deixa o aviso. Há ainda tempo para falar sobre o conflito entre os EUA e o Irão que entrou numa “segunda fase”. O comentador olha para o arsenal das duas potências e destaca os aviões Phantom F-4 dentro das bases iranianas. “São do tempo da guerra do Vietname e foram comprados pelo Xá da Pérsia”, explica. Fala sobre as novas peças para a redefinição do Médio Oriente, Síria e Iraque, e nota uma das posições da Chevron: “Os EUA querem transformar o Iraque no país mais moderno de exploração petrolífera de todo o Médio Oriente, segundo a empresa petrolífera”.

Nell'estate del 1961, mentre il mondo aveva gli occhi puntati sulla corsa allo spazio, gli astronomi stavano anche cercando qualcosa di più ambizioso: una voce. Un segnale proveniente da altrove. La prova che nell'universo non fossimo soli. Sei anni prima, un astronomo inglese di nome Fred Hoyle aveva immaginato che cosa sarebbe successo se quel segnale fosse davvero arrivato. Non l'aveva scritto in un romanzo. L'aveva scritto per la televisione. E quello che aveva immaginato era inquietante: non un messaggio di pace, non un incontro tra civiltà. Ma qualcosa di molto più ambiguo, di molto più simile a come funziona davvero il potere. Quella storia racconta qualcosa di vero sul modo in cui gli esseri umani sognano il contatto con l'ignoto e su come quel sogno si trasforma, quasi inevitabilmente, in paura.SCOPRI IL MIO ULTIMO LIBRO: "Il mistero delle origini dell'uomo.

I know so many of you—especially those running e-commerce stores—are constantly looking for ways to get more eyeballs on your products. That is exactly why I am thrilled to bring you today's guest. Tara Zirker is the absolute queen of ad experts, highly recommended to me by people I deeply trust. She is the founder of the Successful Ads Club, and today, she is breaking down the exact rules of digital advertising so you can stop wasting money and start scaling. If you've ever felt like you're just writing a blind check to Mark Zuckerberg every month with zero conversions, this episode is a breath of fresh air. Key Takeaways From This Episode: The Reality of "Facebook" Ads: When you run Facebook ads, you're actually logging into Meta's backend. If you give Meta full control, about 60% to 80% of your budget automatically allocates to Instagram anyway. But don't sleep on Facebook—it has become the number one platform for customer acquisition over the last couple of years. The Magic Number for Outsourcing: Don't hand over your ad account keys too early! Tara notes that across the industry, it rarely makes financial sense to hire an agency until you are spending $5,000 to $10,000 a month in-house. Good e-comm agencies charge starting retainers in that same $5k–$10k range. If you outsource too early to a cheap agency, they will spend your budget trying to "learn" your specific account's nuances anyway. The Power of In-House Ownership: As founders and owners, we have to understand our own metrics before we hand them off. When you're spending around $5k a month, maintaining your ads should only take you 2 to 3 hours per month once it's up and running. Tara recommends bringing a team member along (like a social manager or VA) to learn the ropes with you. The Meta Algorithm Update: Meta rolled out a massive algorithm update called Andromeda (on its way to an even newer algorithm called GEM). Essentially, Meta has layered an organic-style algorithm onto paid ads. If your ads get high engagement and excitement, the algorithm rewards your account. If they are "blah," you get penalized. Unstick Your Account with Creative Diversity: The key to winning the ad game right now is creative diversity. If your account feels stuck, mix it up with static ads, carousels, memes, GIFs, collages, videos, and UGC (User Generated Content). In Tara's Words... "Advertising is something you can win at if you know the rules. In fact, it is virtually impossible to not win once you understand how the game works. The value of a great media buyer is to scale the winners and get rid of the losers quickly, because the losers are what waste all your money."

Your Meta targeting isn't reaching who you think it is, and your creative is why. On this episode of Ignite Healthcare Marketing Podcast, Cardinal President Lauren Leone sits down with Group Media Director Brandon Wilhelm to break down why creative is now the most important media decision you make. As AI-driven platforms like Meta and Google take over audience selection, the concepts and assets you load into a campaign have become the primary signal determining who sees your ads. If your creative brief isn't being built alongside your media strategy, you're already behind. You'll walk away knowing: Why Meta's Andromeda update shifted targeting power to your creative How to build distinct messaging pillars that actually move performance What a 3x performance lift looks like when creative strategy leads the build How to unify creative concepts across paid social, search, and programmatic If you're still relying on audience targeting as your main growth strategy, this conversation will change how you think about media performance.

Astronomy Daily S05E128 | Tuesday, June 30, 2026 Hosts: Anna & Avery | astronomydaily.io | @AstroDailyPod In today's episode:
Its back to the normal table top gaming conversation in Episode 188 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we're travelling from the far reaches of space to the darkest corners of Lovecraftian horror, with a few rabbits and xenomorphs thrown in for good measure. First we take a deep dive into one of the most talked-about sci-fi strategy games of recent years, Andromeda's Edge. Does Andromeda's Edge build on the foundations of Dwellings of Eldervale, or does it chart its own course among the stars? We discuss the engine building, exploration, combat, and whether it's worth sitting at the table for nearly 3 hours!!! We then move to the complete opposite end of the board game spectrum with Bunny Kingdom Town, the new two-player only version of Richard Garfield's cutesy area control game Is it an essential addition or one for devoted bunny fans only? Then it's time to open the forbidden tomes as we investigate Miskatonic Tales: Journey to Innsmouth. We talk eldritch mysteries, impossible choices, and whether this Lovecraft-inspired story-driven game delivers the atmosphere and tension horror fans are looking for. Finally, we step aboard another doomed spacecraft with Alien: Rapture Protocol, the latest cinematic adventure for Alien RPG Evolved Edition. We discuss the new rule set while testing out the new adventure while asking the important question: did Sid backstab everyone? Join the conversation on our [Discord server] and let us know what's been hitting your table this week!

There's a lot of noise right now about Facebook ads being broken, too expensive or no longer worth running. But is that actually true? In this episode, I'm unpacking what's really happening with Meta Ads right now, including the recent Andromeda conversation, why your results may look different inside Ads Manager, and why ads still play such a powerful role in driving traffic and sales for e-commerce brands. If you've been wondering whether Facebook and Instagram ads are still worth the investment, this episode will help you look at the bigger picture and understand where your focus needs to be now. What we cover in this episode: Why the “Facebook ads are dead” narrative needs more context How Meta's attribution window changes have impacted the results you see inside Ads Manager Why your ads may look worse on paper, even if your overall sales haven't dropped What Andromeda really means for e-commerce brands Why your ad creative now does more of the targeting than your audience settings The importance of testing hooks, angles, formats and messaging Why better ads and stronger landing pages need to work together The role Meta Ads can still play in driving 60 to 90 percent of monthly sales for many e-commerce brands The bottom line? Facebook ads are not dead. But the way we run them has changed. Instead of spending hours building complicated interest-based audiences, the real work now happens at the ad level, with stronger creative, sharper copy, better messaging and a clearer understanding of your customer. If you're ready to stop guessing and finally feel confident managing your own Meta Ads, eComm Ads Academy is now open for early enrolment. When you enrol before 30 June, you'll get instant access to the curriculum, plus a bonus 60 minute 1:1 coaching call with me, valued at AUD $990.

Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupBraydon from Pilothouse joins for a fast AI check-in on what the team is actually shipping right now. Not theory. The exact tools, prompts, and workflows behind their current creative output.If you run growth or creative at a DTC brand or agency, this is a look at how one team is collapsing production time on landing pages, video ads, and founder content using AI.The sub-agent "council" prompt: rewrite a landing page eight ways, with each sub-agent playing a role (copywriter, CEO, customer, CRO expert), then have the council rate the versions and a final decision maker pick the winner.How to keep Claude fast on long projects: ask the chat to summarize itself into a markdown file, then carry that into a fresh chat instead of letting one thread balloon.Higgsfield as a model aggregator: one place to run VO3, Kling, ElevenLabs, and image models, with one-click image-to-video and multiple aspect ratios.The founder avatar workflow: build a 30-second explainer with B-roll and slow zooms, clone the founder's voice in ElevenLabs, and ship it the same afternoon.Why Braydon leans into obviously-AI creative (claymation, Pixar-style) instead of trying to pass synthetic people as real.How Meta's Andromeda rewards ads that improve the scroll, and why social boosting organic winners is finding new scale.Who this is for:DTC operators, growth marketers, and agency creative leads who want a current, practical AI workflow rather than a hype reel.What to steal:The sub-agent council prompt, the Higgsfield image-to-video and voice-clone pipeline, and the social boosting approach to finding ad winners.Timestamps:00:29 Fable AI and One-Shot Development06:54 Higgsfield for AI Creative Production10:33 New AI Advertising Disclosure Rules13:15 AI Search, SEO, and Answer Engines14:33 How Andromeda Rewards Better Ad ExperiencesSubscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupAdvertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertiseWork with Pilothouse - https://www.pilothouse.co/?utm_source=AKNF621Follow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletterWatch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video

Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupMost brands are quietly killing themselves with growth hacks. Swapping button colors, chasing this week's ROI, discounting to hit the number.Duncan, Strategy Lead at Pilothouse, makes the case that this is the worst creative strategy there is, and walks through what actually builds a brand that lasts.Duncan runs strategy at Pilothouse, where brand and performance are treated as one system instead of warring departments. He explains why Meta's Andromeda shift is quietly ending the era of high-volume AI slop creative, and what replaces it.What you will learn:Why the growth-hack mentality leads to a discount death spiral and erodes brand valueWhat Meta's Andromeda infrastructure changed, and why it forces advertisers toward thoughtful creative over high-frequency iterationHow to integrate brand and performance instead of picking oneWhy siloed agencies fight over attribution while the customer journey falls through the cracksThe one question to ask any agency before you hire them: "Where will growth come from this year?"Who this is for: DTC founders, brand and growth leads, and anyone choosing between agencies or trying to make brand and performance work together.What to steal: the agency-selection test. If a partner can only answer with optimizations, they are a vendor.

You can launch 100 ads... Meta's still only going to let 2 or 3 of them win. In this episode, we went down a deep rabbit hole on Meta's new Andromeda update to try and figure out why the mechanism keeps starving 97% of your creative. We also dive into what this actually means for media buyers and creative strategists. We get into why dumping more ad volume doesn't create more winners, why the algo is basically playing blackjack and doubling down after seeing a single card, and why "make organic content that works as an ad" just went from a nice-to-have to the entire game. Plus a real-time (slightly too honest) consulting session on whether to cut ad spend and go all-in on organic. ⚡ IN THIS EPISODE → Why only 2-3 ads ever carry your entire account — and the poll data that proves it → The 90-minute window quietly deciding which creative lives or dies → Why launching 100 ads at once is the worst thing you can do right now → The "drip feed vs. bulk post" debate — and why we both landed on the same answer → How a streetwear brand blew up with organic videos that secretly end in an ad ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 The 2-3 ads carrying your entire account 01:00 We polled 100+ marketers on how many ads actually win 03:00 The bell-curve math that should work... but doesn't 05:00 Inside Meta's Andromeda update: thousands of robots become five 06:00 The 90-minute gate and the "Lattice Zipper" nobody's talking about 07:00 Meta's playing blackjack — and doubling down blind on every hand 08:00 Why launching 100 ads gets 90 of them killed 10:00 Drip feed or bulk post?

In the past 12 months, I've watched more eight-figure coaches turn off their ads and close up shop than ever before. Meta's Andromeda update completely wiped them out. In this episode, I walk through five lessons from spending over $20 million on Facebook ads — including the one that 99% of coaches refuse to learn because it's not about ads at all. I break down why polished, agency-style ads are dead on Facebook (even though they work on YouTube), how Andromeda completely flipped the targeting game so your ad copy is now doing the job that interest stacking used to do, and why you need 50 ads running, not five. I also get into why most "ad problems" are actually offer problems in disguise — and a simple test you can run right now to find out if yours is one of them. If your cost per booked call keeps climbing and you've been blaming the algorithm, this episode will show you what's actually broken. "The ad sells the click. The offer sells everything else."
Send us Fan MailBefore you spend another dollar on paid ads, listen to this.Facebook and Instagram ads can feel like a mystery. One person swears they're the key to scaling your business. Someone else says they're a waste of money. Meanwhile, Meta keeps suggesting you boost your post, increase your budget and trust the process. In today's episode, I'm joined by Samantha Fine, Meta Ads and Funnel Strategist, to talk about what's actually working when it comes to paid advertising and why so many business owners end up frustrated, overwhelmed and convinced that ads "don't work."We discuss:How Meta's platform has changed, including the growing role of AI, the Andromeda update and the shift from audience targeting to creative-led advertisingThe role your funnel plays in ad performance and conversionsHow to know if you're actually ready to invest in paid traffic and how oto set an ad budget based on your goalsWhy copying someone else's ad strategy rarely works If you've been wondering whether Meta Ads are worth it, why your results have changed or what needs to be in place before you spend any money on ads, this conversation will save you time, money and a whole lot of frustration.Links & References:Come network with us!

If you're a coach or expert, you probably think your biggest problem is client attraction. It's not. You have a trust problem. And you're leaking trust in three specific places in your funnel every single day. In this episode, I name all three, and show you exactly how to fix each one — including the second piece that almost everybody overlooks, which is the thing that makes people show up to your calls already trusting you. I break down why talking to everybody in your ads is the kiss of death under Facebook's new Andromeda system, what an authority masterclass actually needs to do (hint: it's not teaching), and why the industry-standard 15-20% close rate is a symptom of pitching instead of diagnosing. I also walk through the five specific belief shifts your masterclass needs to engineer before anyone ever books a call with you. If your cost per booked call keeps climbing and nothing you try seems to fix it, this episode will show you exactly where the breakdown is happening. "Being trustworthy isn't enough. You also have to sell and market in a way that builds trust at every step."

During the 1960s, theorists like Jeremiah Ostriker used early computers to determine that spiral galaxies would be unstable and "fly apart" without a massive spherical halo of unseen matter. This theoretical need found concrete evidence through the pioneering work of Vera Rubin and Kent Ford. By observing the Andromeda galaxy, they discovered that rotational velocities did not diminish at the outer edges, a phenomenon called "flattening the curve." This proved that a significant amount of invisible mass must exist to provide the necessary gravity. To map this mass, modern astronomers use gravitational lensing, an effect predicted by Einstein where gravity bends light from distant objects. This work continues in Chile at the Vera Rubin Observatory, which is designed to map the distribution of dark matter across space and time. (2/8)2020 ESA EUCLID
